The Lucasville Uprising was a rebellion against oppressive and racist policies at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville, OH. Nine inmates and one guard died during the uprising in April of 1993. Today, many people are serving time or condemned to death by the state of Ohio in relation to the uprising. We demand amnesty for all of these inmates. The conditions at SOCF were (and still are) intolerable and unconscionable.

Temporary Restraining order denied.

Hasan's Attorney, Rick Kerger filed a lawsuit and temporary restraining order to restore phone access on account of the conduct report against Hasan being patently absurd.

The court held a hearing on the request, but denied relief and in fact dismissed the case until Hasan exhausts all administrative remedies. Kerger argued against the validity of the restrictions on several different levels, but the judge refused to part from the ODRC's position.

Before the decision, Hasan sent this message to supporters:

8 September 2016

...OSP is only interested in cutting
off my direct communications with the national media prior to tomorrow, September
9th. Believe it or not, I had already anticipated that OSP would
excommunicate me as we got closer to labor strike and work stoppage; however, I
did not anticipate they would fabricate terroristic charge to accomplish their
diabolical objective. My situation has taught me a valuable lesson or two: (1)
Never underestimate your adversary, and (2) Always remember that a formidable
adversary will do anything and everything to silence your voice and movement.
In short, said adversary does not play fair; instead, it plays to win by any
means necessary. And since the gloves are now off, we must learn to fight with
fire while staying the course. So come what may and let the wind blow wherever,
for we are the ones who stand on the right side of history in our peaceful
fight to end prison slavery and mass incarceration. Finally, if we truly
believe in the righteousness of our fight, then we must prepare ourselves for
the unexpected twists and turns. What they have done to me is only a small
sample of what these wicked people will do to maintain the status quo – that is,
wealth power and control.

In conclusion, let us be fearless
but vigilant, peaceful but ready to strike back whenever attacked, but most of
all let us be organized and put up some stiff resistance against this
formidable adversary.
